  • Monomission altimeter satellite along-track sea surface heights computed with respect to a twenty-year mean. Previously distributed by Aviso+, no change in the scientific content. All the missions are homogenized with respect to a reference mission which is currently OSTM/Jason-2. The sla is computed with an optimal and centered computation time window (6 weeks before and after the date). Two kinds of datasets are proposed: filtered (nominal dataset) and unfiltered.

  • Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer multimission data have been reprocessed to provide update retrievals of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) to produce the AATSR Reprocessing for Climate (ARC) dataset.

  • The mean sea surface (MSS) is an important field in physical oceanography, geophysics, and geodesy. In principle, it corresponds to the time-averaged height of the ocean surface. Auxiliary product : mean sea profile above a reference ellipsoid (T/P or WSG84). This surface is available on a regular grid (1/60°x1/60°, 1 minute). Another grid provides the estimation of error fields which represent the MSS accuracy estimated through the inverse technique.

  • Multimission altimeter satellite gridded sea surface heights and derived variables computed with respect to a twenty-year mean. Previously distributed by Aviso+, no change in the scientific content. All the missions are homogenized with respect to a reference mission. The acquisition of various altimeter data is a few days at most. The sla is computed with a non-centered computation time window (6 weeks before the date).

  • Along-track altimetric GDR (Geophysical Data Record) products , geophysical and environmental corrections to apply. Available missions are: GFO, Topex/Poseidon, Envisat, Cryosat-2, Jason-1, Jason-2, Jason-3, Saral/AltiKa. Missions with several successive orbital types are treated in their entirety. Compared to the original version of the GDR files distributed by the CNES, ESA, NASA and ISRO agencies, the CTOH proposes new corrections and parameters in these files, which are to be applied to the initial altimetry measurement, according to user needs. Children metadata files are available for each mission.

  • Gridded multi-mission merged satellite significant wave height in Near-Real-Time. It merges along-track SWH data from the following missions: Jason-3, Sentinel-3A, Sentinel-3B, SARAL/AltiKa, Cryosat-2 and CFOSAT.

  • Barystatic and manometric sea level changes represent the mass component of sea level changes at global and regional scales respectively. Barystatic and manometric sea level changes are estimated here using the sea level budget approach combining satellite altimetry with in situ measurements of the seawater temperature and salinity. This sea level budget approach is adapted from Barnoud et al., (2023). Two products are distributed over the January 1993 to December 2020 period: - Barystatic sea level changes from sea level budget with uncertainties at 1-sigma: monthly time series, - Manometric sea level changes from sea level budget with uncertainties at 1-sigma: monthly grids with 1 degree spacing.

  • Eddies detected in Delayed-Time (DT) for the entire period [1993 - present]. Variables provided include day-by-day, and for one rotation type (Cyclonic/Anticyclonic) : - Center position (Longitude and latitude of the center of the best fit circle with the contour of maximum circum-average geostrophic speed); - Amplitude (|SSH(local_extremum) – SSH(outermost_contour)|); - Speed radius (Radius of the best fit circle with the contour of maximum circum-average geostrophic speed); - Speed average (Average geostrophic speed of the contour defining the speed radius); - Speed profile (Profile speed average values from effective contour inwards to smallest inner contour); - Effective contour (Largest contour of the detected eddy); - Speed contour (Contour of maximum circum-average geostrophic speed for the detected eddy).
